you're watching r t with me tom would say in syria radical islamists have reportedly captured a key military base in the country's north the alleged story fears the country's chemical weapons stockpiles could potentially fall into militant hands western powers have already warned the syrian regime against using the banned arms but damascus says it's the victim of a smear campaign that officials claim they would never use chemical weapons against civilians and are only interested in keeping the store powell safe this comes as u.s. sources say washington is training rebels to secure and has such weapons in case the syrian regime collapses some servers are now convinced that a foreign intervention is in the making. of this period right now and the talk of weapons of mass destruction chemical weapons in syria is very reminiscent of the run up to the anglo-american attack on iraq in two thousand and three and they did not intend to provide us with any proof. and what they do want to do is use the
12:02 am
chemical weapons as a pretext for an intervention one of those videos purported to show syrian insurgents funded by the west preparing chemical weapons which were used on rabbits but could be used on syrian civilians and then blamed on the syrian government the assad government is not suicidal it has been playing its cards very carefully there is no basis in fact for the use of chemical weapons by the syrian government it would be counterproductive and so the only way we can deal with this hysteria about it is in the context of a run up to another war all the pieces are in place now the patriot missiles are on their way to turkey the american fleet with canadian warships is sitting at the eastern end of the mediterranean there are the special forces of the western

countries are on the ground already inside syria connecting with named nato for cities back in brussels so what they need what they really need is an excuse the weapons of mass destruction argument used so effectively in two thousand and three and later found out to be a complete hoax they've just they've tried it out of the dustbin and their plans to rerun it again. they are opinions of three presidents have received and this is another surprise on behalf of member states the e.u. has been given the award in recognition for fostering peace even before the prizes handed out the decision sparked mass indignation throughout europe several previous winners are wrote an open letter to the nobel foundation demanding that the blunt be stripped of the award i had of sunday's ceremony hundreds of mars are through the norwegian capital in protest john a lot planned from the institute of democracy and cooperation believe peace is one of the last things the e.u. should be rewarded for. european union does not have political pluralism it has one
12:04 am
effectively homogenous political class and the various parts of that single political class are awarding each other prizes for the purpose of keeping the whole show on the road it's one of the most disgusting aspects of this award there has not been peace in europe for the last sixty years this point the president of the european council said everybody knows that there was a war against yugoslavia in one thousand nine hundred ninety in which european states e.u. member states participated very fully they attacked you. if we look further afield with syria the european union's policy the actual policy of the european union as an organization that in mind its member states has been in my view to fan the flames of the conflict in syria and not to act as a peace broker so there is literally no way in which we can say that the european union has fostered peace and there's no other way to look at it that it is a structure of our which serves the interests of the people who belong to it that is to say the european. members of the european parliament and all the other people

who work for the europe. and it is radically out of touch with ordinary people and not just with the people who demonstrate the youth unemployment figures in greece and spain and other countries are truly horrifying and in the name of the european ideology europe is not being put through some of the most difficult economic times it seems is the ninety. seems so whichever way you look at the nonsensical judgment it's an absolute. story cohorts of acacia discredits the nobel prize and so. what onery people endure life in the direct it seems that some corporate giants will stop at nothing to get out of paying their shame tax evasion and avoidance costs the debt stricken blow one point three trillion dollars a year a figure that's no longer being tolerated as our first reports. of. people from all of that tend not to point to the scandals with companies like
12:06 am
starbucks and airplane google at the moment it's really part of a much larger picture welcome to the world of tax avoidance illegal but morally suspect way the companies and the wealthy have been dodging paying their fair share most people are due to discuss these companies do not the v.a. taxation which is a criminal offense but are void taxation basically use existing facilities and legal loopholes in the different regulation and taxation between different countries to their advantage companies like amazon their head office is based in luxembourg which they claim is the center of the economic operations which is handy as luxembourg so well known in tax haven where companies can enjoy a lower tax rate but hang on a minute we're here one of alison's massive this service incentives based in the
12:07 am
u.k. in fact the reality is that many of our customers most of their employees and many will distribution centers like this one are in fact based here in the united kingdom so it's not hard to see that the relatively small luxembourg office is nothing fact as they say at the heart of their operations and yet the u.k. tax system doesn't seem to recognize this. well it's all very british taxpayer is the only thing out that's a done illegal on the face of it to run because you could register your transaction in different country and the place of registration is the place of taxation where as you can have your activities actually taking place here is legal. surely then in the midst of a flat lining economy ek government would be eager to plug the holes it's letting billions of much needed tax plans you can't. put in the chancellor's autumn

12:09 am
avoid it's ok to legally tell you what starbucks and amazon and google have been doing is ok's that you say i said there's a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion tax evasion is illegal tax avoidance people are using the law to their benefit now if the law is wrong we need to change the law but for now the law continues to allow an exodus of profits made in britain meaning companies like amazon can keep getting away with paying less than the tax payers they're profiting from sarah firth r.t. london. also ahead for you this hour security titans in egypt as more protests supporters and opponents of president mohamed was. set to confront each other again today as the nation readies a full referendum on a draft constitution. that
